Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 407

Rachel’s POV

I snatched the phone from Mom’s hand, my fingers trembling slightly as news alerts flooded the screen. Every major outlet was running with the same headline: violence at Parker Group’s underground garage.

Social media was blowing up with theories. Some claimed the dead were kidnappers, others insisted it must be a Parker executive. Police at the scene were tight-lipped, giving reporters the standard “ongoing investigation” line.

But if he died…
